(Fall 2015 organizational average GPA + Spring 2016 organizational average GPA) 2
Example: Organization A achieves the following semester GPAs leading up to the Fall 2016 football season.
- 1. Fall 2015 Organizational Average GPA = 3.11
- 2. Spring 2016 Organizational Average GPA = 3.42
Final Organizational GPA Awarded = (3.11+3.42)/2 = 3.265

FAQ
Q: Is cumulative GPA or semesterly GPA considered in this calculation? Grades from previous semesters are not considered, so each organization begins the year with a blank slate. The organizational average GPA earned in the fall 2015 semester and in the spring 2016 semester are the only factors.
SLIDE 9 FAQ
Q: Will more weight be given to upper level coursework?
- No. Due to the subjective nature of assigning
course difficulty, no extra weight will be given to any particular course. Q: What if a student gaps a class? Regardless of circumstance, ungapped GPAs will be used.
SLIDE 10
Calculation of Rows
The number of rows an organization is eligible to receive will depend on the size of the organization according to the roster they submit to OSP. Each organization’s base row capacity will be determined by the following formula: (Membership * 1.5) / (24 seats per row)
SLIDE 11 FAQ
Q: Can a single organization participate as multiple entities?
- No. An organization may only register once,
and must register as a chartered university
- rganization with permanent status.
SLIDE 12 FAQ
Q: Is there an adjustment factor for differences in
- rganization size?
- No. Unlike in the old Ignited Points system, an
- rganization’s ability to compete with any other
- rganization is unaffected by size. The size of an
- rganization has no bearing on that
- rganization’s ability to produce an excellent
GPA.
